I wonder whether this is a legacy of its having been developed at
LiveJournal -- which uses UTF-8 for entries etc. but treats it all as
bytes in Perl (I've even seen bits of code that explicitly strip the
UTF-8 flag, I think). So things such as 'รถ' would be not just two
bytes but also two (Perl) characters inside LiveJournal's innards.

Cheers,
Philip
